Book Of Cats Megaways (BGaming) Slot Demo & Review

It’s fair to say that there are millions of cat lovers around the globe that just love to treat their feline friends like royalty. One civilisation that especially thought that cats were magical creatures was the ancient Egyptians. Delving into this folklore further are the developer BGaming, who is again taking us to the foot of the sacred pyramids in their slot titled Book of Cats Megaways. So, what about the basics? We’ve got up to 117,649 paylines in play on any spin, a respectable RTP of 96%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet. Maybe not puurfect, but indeed a steady start.

Feature wise, there isn’t too much going on to shout about in the base game. There’s nothing more than stacked symbols on every reel, so your best bet for success is hitting a large number of symbols across multiple paylines. Things begin to heat up a little if 3 or more scatters land in view and the free spins feature is triggered. You’ll then be awarded a special expanding symbol that can potentially fill the reels for some huge payouts. There’s even a wild multiplier active too that can enhance your wins further. Finishing off the feature set we have the x2 chance option, which increases the possibilities of the bonus round being triggered, and for those who are able to access it, two bonus buy options.

It’s hard to think of a topic slot developers haven’t covered with so many online games now on the market. Obviously, Egypt has to be one of the most overused genres going in iGaming, and you’ll easily find 100 slots or more if you so wish, featuring a pharaoh or some typical adventure into this historically famous land. Taking up the mantle in this latest expedition in search of hidden treasures is BGaming, whose Book of Cats Megaways slot once again has us rummaging through ancient ruins in the hope of uncovering riches that are worth a small fortune. If this theme of game sounds like something you’d like to try more of, then a couple of recommendations here on our site off the top of my head that you should check out are the legendary Book of Dead demo from Play’n Go and Relax Gaming’s Book of Power slot that comes with a max win of 15,000x the bet.

It’s all about the pays, right? So, let’s get straight into the paytable and see what you can win. The Book is the highest paying symbol, and not only will this return 100x your bet for a six of a kind hit, but it also doubles up as the scatter within the game. Next is the Pharaoh, worth 10x for six across a payline, with the Cat paying 5x, and finishing up the premium symbols is the Ankh, which pays 2x, and finally, the Mask, which will reward you 1.5x for all six. Moving to the low pays, we have the classic royal symbols where you’ll find the Ace, King, and Queen, all with payouts of 1x, and the Jack and Ten, sharing returns of 0.5x bet for a winning combo of six.

One of the things that I really like about this slot is the vast amount of betting options available to players. Stake sizes start at just €0.10 a spin and steadily progress at a sensible rate before reaching the maximum value of €25. Kudos to BGaming for this, as surely most of us are playing on stakes at €1 or under.


Book Of Cats Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Book Of Cats Megaways Slot Base Game

Yes, you’ve probably guessed it already. As Book of Cats Megaways is played over a 6×7 reel set, 117,649 paylines can be generated on any spin. Most Megaways slots played on this format feature an escalating upper reel, but that is not the case in this instance. And as I suspected, its absence means that are no cascading reels in play on this slot either.

Chance X2

BGaming offers players double the chance of triggering the feature on Book of Cats Megaways courtesy of the Chance x2 switch that can be toggled on and off at your pleasure. Activating this feature will increase the size of your stake by 50%, but having checked out the game rules, the RTP stays the same. So whether using this feature is worth it is certainly questionable; if it were me, I’d probably pass.


Book Of Cats Megaways Slot Bonus Features

There is just one main bonus feature to talk of in this game, with this being the free spins feature that is triggered when 3 or more of the scatter symbols land in view. Activating the bonus round will award you 12 free spins, and whilst landing additional scatters will not increase the number of spins you begin the feature with, there is a chance that you will also create multiple wins, as remember these double up as a wild symbol too.


Free Spins

Before the reels start rolling, the book pages will turn, and a random symbol from the paytable will be revealed to act as your expanding symbol for the duration of the bonus. If 3 or more of these then land on separate reels, they will expand the entire length of those reels and pay you over potentially 1000s of paylines. Furthermore, if a wild symbol appears simultaneously with a win, a multiplier of either 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x will be applied to the total win amount.

Sound good? Well, things can get even better if you again land three or more of the scatters in view, with this adding an extra 12 spins to your current total each time that it is achieved.


Bonus Buy

If permitted in the jurisdiction that you’re playing from, there are two possible options that you can use for the bonus buy feature. These are as follows:

  • 100x Bet: Standard feature buy.
  • 150x Bet: Only a premium symbol will be revealed from the book.

Pros

  • High quality presentation.
  • Solid max win of 10,000x the bet.

Cons

  • Besides all the bells and whistles, it's ultimately just another "book of" slot.

Book Of Cats Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Not only are there 100s of Egyptian themed slots on the market, but there are countless " book style " slots too. In fact, some of you may remember Legacy of Ra Megaways from Blueprint Gaming, which is very similar to Book of Cats Megaways in many ways. All that being said, BGaming does make some lovely slots, and you can't take away the fact that the presentation of this game is of high quality. Overall, I can't say it's a game I'd go looking for, but I can see how it will appeal to some.
